Over the August Bank Holiday 2016 had a weekend in Taunton & as we don't have a camera shop in Weston I visited London Camera Exchange & traded in some old bodies for a Canon 70-300mm IS lens so with directions provided by Brian Garett of Tauton trains I went to farm crossing near Bathpool to try it out
On 21/08/2016 went to Ross on Wye model railway exhibition so took the scenic route home & called into Cardiff Celsa for the shunters but due to the weather it was a bit of a rush job so will make another visit
On 14/08/2016 as part of our family day at Okehampton I did a few shots around Exeter St Davids nothing like what I use to do here
On 05/08/2016 met up with friends at Twyford for the day & went to a bridge at Ruscombe the first time any of us had been there & we all wished we had knowen about it before the mast's had arrived & the best thing from the day was a 60 on load 42 at 4126 tonnes
On 23/07/2016 before the DRS openday stopped at Bescot then afterwards & before going to the Midland Railway stopped at Basford Hall Yrd the on the way home got The Cheshire Cat tour at Penkridge
On 12/07/2016 after getting the Royal Scotsman I headed to the Thames Valley again & as the weather turned for the worse went to Reading General & got my first IEP then it was full sun in time for the Royal Scotsman again & this was the week the BBC were showing Trainspotting Live but I never saw them for all the interesting stuff around
On 09/07/16 had a day at Lands End & went via St Ives as I hadn't done the branch in a long time
